Do we have any musical people on DC?

(Does any of the above even make sense, I wonder? ;D )

Makes sense to me. I don't think a Cassandra Wilson comes along every other week. On the other hand those lip syncers who take singing lessons after they get the recording contract are a special category of talent that Howard Stern would refer to as "worth bangin'." ;)

If they're there to begin with. That is something, unlike a musical instrument, that can't be bought. Some vocal abilities can't even be developed. It's there or it's not. And no amount of hard work or sincere effort will get it for you.

I think the same argument could be said for a musical instrument. Or coding. Or any other of a myriad of things. Let's take coding. You can teach coding- there's schools all over the map and all of the internet. Getting a computer is of course trivial- especially if you're reading this on one :)
But having been a consultant for several years, I can say that I've seen competent coders- and then I've seen those that are transcendent. And what makes that difference? A mindset, certain capabilities for seeing the solution through the problem while having the ability not to fall in love with the solution- but to fall in love with the problem. Not sure if I'm making sense... but I think in most things that require a creative spark, there's something about that spark that cannot be taught.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sometimes feels that way when it comes to discussing something related to music. ;D :Thmbsup:
Funny how what's so clear in the head falls apart when you try to put it into words when it comes to music. A hundred things really need to be said simultaneously. And there's very little that doesn't need to be qualified and re-qualified. And half the time, the exact opposite is equally true.
That's what you get for "dancing about architecture" I guess. ;) 8)
FWIW my guitarist GF tends to start quietly singing this song any time I start getting too analytical or esoteric. (Think she's trying to tell me something? :huh:)
